Heart Sparks

A little wonder.
A little courage.
A little proof that humans are still out here being quietly magnificent.

This is where the tender, goosebumpy, beautifully human stuff lives: poems, stories, videos, and creative sparks that warm the heart and wake up hope.

For the Part of You That Still Believes in Tiny Miracles

Some sparks arrive quietly.

A line of poetry. A voice cracking in the right place. A story that reminds you your heart is not broken, just paying attention.

If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking

By Emily Dickinson 

If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain;

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain

For the Feelings That Don’t Fit in a Text Message

Good news. Poetry loves a mess.

Some feelings are too weird, too tender, too tangled, or too wildly specific to explain neatly.

Excerpt from "You Make a Difference!" 

— Marius F Robbertze 

With every word, with every deed

We have the power, to plant a seed.

Of kindness, compassion, and love

That grows and flourishes, sent from above.

So let us strive, to make a difference each day

To leave the world, a better way.

For the Little Reminders We Forget We Need

These are the tiny taps on the shoulder..

The “hey, maybe life is still beautiful” moments. The small things that somehow rearrange the whole room.

Pass It On

A warm fuzzy is lovely. A warm fuzzy that turns into a tiny real-life moment? Even better.

Try one small thing:

Tiny Action

Text someone, “I’m glad you exist.”

Write down one thing you’re grateful for and tell the person.

Step outside for five minutes and notice one beautiful thing.

Send one of these videos to someone who might need it.

Say the kind thing before you overthink it.
